Los Angeles- which area?

[thefourDs]

Hi all,

We are about to book for a week in LA next October half term, travelling with our two teenage boys.

I’m completely overwhelmed by the choice of areas! We will have a hire car and want to see the usual touristy places including Universal.

Any suggestions or tips would be amazing!

Thanks 😊

We have booked the Hilton universal city which is next door to the park. It’s pretty steep though but we are only there for 3 nights and like the idea of visiting city walk one evening too.

we tend to move around, Stay up in Stevenson Ranch and we do Six flags, Universal, WB, move down to Anaheim for Disney and Knotts, then down to San Diego if we are going to Sea World etc

Thank you both 😁

I’m tempted to book The Garland which is in Hollywood area and reasonably priced.

A lot of people stay in Burbank for doing that area. The Tangerine hotel is popular with many.

We stayed in Lowes Hollywood.
It was excellent and really good for everything hollywood and Universal.
We used uber.

We stayed here too. Loved it, so central for walk of fame , Chinese theatre etc...
We had a private tour who took us to all the sights of LA, so didn't have to worry about finding it all ourselves.

We have stayed in both Burbank and Glendale which were a little quieter but not too far away from Universal, Hollywood etc.

We stayed at the garland a few years ago, I really liked it, there is a free shuttle to universal and the metro station if you didn’t want to drive. We loved the pool area and found it easy to get around and see sights from there.

We stayed in the Burbank area where the hotels are more reasonably priced but near to the main areas that you would want to visit. We also liked that there was a number of places to eat that you could walk to and it felt safe to walk around at night.
